DTOID MEMES

Hey everyone. We are trying to create an easy reference for all the Dtoid memes that have happened on the forums or cblogs. So, post in this thread with links to where the memes started (or a recap page if it's huge) and I'll keep this first post updated so we (and editors) have a quick reference.

From a comment RonBurgandy2010 left to Nintendoll saying "I always thought that you redefined adorable " in this cblog .

Who the fuck is Jim Sterling?

Who the fuck is Jim Sterling? First posted after Jim Sterling made his Destructoid debut, because nobody knew who the hell he was. Jim's name is often replaced with other people when we don't know who they are, or when community people become editors and start using their real names.

Also,Cocks

Almost a non-sequitir to be used at the end of posts, it has since become the unofficial motto of Destructoid, been plastered on T-shirts, and been modified to incorporate whatever the subject matter may be.

AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING

The catchphrase of one Chad Concelmo, to be used when things are well, really amazing.

Yard sale

Whenever something comes out on Xbox Live, especially a shoot em up, Topher proclaims we are having a yard sale in RetroforceGO!, and you should pay heed.

was started when Nex changed his avatar to a pic of him wearing headphones and sunglasses, and quite a few community members changed their own avatar to rib him since it was pretty silly looking.

Nex is going to be a father

Nex bullshitted the entire community several times with this fake announcement

You Must Provide Beast and Location

on an early Podtoid Workman did a dramatic reading of a Craigslist ad about a guy who wanted to engage in some anonymous bestiality

Mexicans aren't people, they can't work their stolen iPods

another Podtoid gem by Workman that ended up causing a lot of drama and accusations of racism by people who don't have a sense of humor and are unable to tell when people are making ridiculous statements that weren't intended to be taken seriously

Forums are that way ->

For the longest while before the forums matured onto their own(and for a good while after), many of the older users of Destructoid would post a simmilar comment on the failblog posts of newer users(such as comment #1 here). While it was meant to control the quality of the C-blogs, eventually, it only served to piss off the forum regulars. Sometimes though, this has been seen used in promotion of the forums(such as comment #2 here.)

We have forums? -

A year after the community blogs started, people almost completely stopped going to the forums, and when talking about it in an episode of Podtoid, Ron Workman went "Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. We have forums?" jokingly, referring to the fact that the forums were near barren.

Prior to the release of The Dark Knight, Riser Glen made a blog post about how Christian Bale was God, and the community promptly accepted the idea, communally converting to the newfound religion of Baleism, celebrating his birthday yearly, creating Photoshops with his head in the clouds i.e. Monty Python & The Holy Grail, and defending his every move. As they should.

Psh, Semantics -

Of course, everyone knows of Nex, a former Dtoid editor. One day, someone corrected one of his acclaimedly "holier-than-thou-and-seething-with-intellectualism" articles, and he replied with "Psh, semantics." Coonskin promptly repeated this, as did the rest of the comment thread.

Talladega Nights -

The first bundle ever for the PS3 was one that included the PS3, a Blu-Ray remote, and Talladega Nights, a movie panned by critics and consumers alike. Someone promptly commented something along the lines of "FUCK YEAH TALLADEGA NIGHTS" and the community continued the joke, adding things along the lines of "THE POWER OF BLU-RAYS".

Someone said they weren't into Colette, and people jumped on him. They responded "I am sorry Colette, it is not that you are unattractive, but I am not looking for you right now. A wordy and skinny woman is not what I want right now." Or something like that.

"I'm About To Whip Somebody's Ass -

Whenever a "gay rave" started in Stickam, Ron would play this song, leading people to dance, occasionally with flashing lights. The song is originally a remix of a monologue sent to Ze Frank. Here's an MP3 of the song.

"God told me I sucked, so I started a blog." -

A while back, whenever you were logged into the site, but hadn't yet made a cblog post, you just saw a message saying "You suck, start a blog. - God". A lot of newcomers then posted blogs with a title along the lines of "God told me I sucked, so I started a blog.", and after it became increasingly annoying, community members began to troll the aforementioned posts, until Niero changed it.

World Famous Robert Summa:

When Robert Summa still wrote for Destructoid, he was on Stickam one night with Ron Workman, drunk, talking about his appearance on G4, and how it was seen all over the world. Someone in the room proclaimed that he was World Famous, and it became a big joke, even having his name changed on the site to "World Famous".

Is ____ ending because Jim is moving to America?

Anyhow, this originated back when Jim announced he was moving to America on Podcastle(I can't remember exactly which episode this started in though). Since then, he'd get one listener question or more roughly every episode asking if the Podcastle would be ending because he is moving to America. This persisted even after Jim had moved to America, up to the final episode of Podcastle.

Calvin's Pink Hat -

CannibalCalvin once danced near-naked on Stickam, with only a pink hat on his head.

It's Electric! -

Once upon a time, I was absolutely fucking stupid, and decided "hey, why don't I take off my shirt and dance?" It was then set to Marcia Griffith's "Electric Boogie" by tehurberone, because my name is electro lemon, even though originally, I was dancing to Hungry Like The Wolf.

Petal Rear Squalid Door -

Ron Workman once made a post where he "confirmed" that MGS4 was coming to the 360. Although there was no solid proof, people quickly claimed that it was bullshit, and that Kojima would never let a MGS game go to Microsoft. Ron took photographs of the GameCube and Xbox MGS games in retaliation, and was quickly served a cease & desist from Konami. Upon that, every mention of the game Metal Gear Solid 4 was renamed to "Petal Rear Squalid Door", to leave the idea of the game in the post, while complying with Konami's C&D. This post was the very first to receive over 1000 comments, as it caused much controversy for Dtoid. (http://www.destructoid.com/-cease-an...y--31775.phtml)

Epic credits -

Ron Workman made a video where he discussed the differences between the Xbox 360 and the Xbox 360 Elite prior to its release, and though the video was a joke, at the end, he added "epic credits" where he called out community members and joked about them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrezR4GPbCQ

I believe the original post of Ron and his sausage is to be found here though the original pic no longer shows. Probably because Rons having a picture of himself doing something for every conceivable moment that could occur has caused photobucket to shat itself. Here is the original in all it's glory

EDIT: What about Podtoid techno remixes? Not sure which one came first...

Also, is people being jerks about Samit a meme, or just douchey?

Hamzakah is absoloutly a dtoid meme. Techno remixes..not really, but they do have their own thread. Being mean to Samit..hmm I don't think I would classify that as a meme, although it's got potential to be one. Samit's birthday on the other hand....

That's absoloutly not a dtoid thing.

These are just threads. You need to go search and look up what a meme is, so quit spamming this thread.
